He wishes this weekend to the fans of cosmonautics and especially to the viewers of our commented broadcasts. After today’s morning launch of the Falcon 9 with the Crew Dragon spacecraft on the Crew-7 mission, another Falcon 9 launch from Florida awaits us on Sunday night – this time 22 Starlink 2nd generation mini satellites will be on board. Then there will be a break of about twelve hours, after which we will focus again on the Crew-7 mission, as the Crew Dragon awaits an automatic connection to the International Space Station. We will offer you both events as part of our commented broadcasts.
